    Money in football

    I've no problem with players being the main beneficiaries of vastly overinflated revenues. Agents and directors I've very much got a problem with. The only reason I care is that it can't last forever and when it does loads of clubs will go to the wall and the people most affected will be the...

    Money in football

    The 'cap on aspiration' is another term used by the rich - apart from a few far left nutters it's no such thing. It's not a 'cap' on anything - most people aren't saying "you can only earn £x per year max or have £x in assets". They're just saying that society is giving you the opportunity to...

    It's interesting you work in renewable energy - it's an industry I really feel that the country should be getting behind and providing help for for any number of reasons, especially environmental and reducing energy dependancy on other nations which means we allow them to get away with some...

    The World Is Drugged Up ?

    The point with the tax was it provides much less opportunity for the black market than a ban would. Obviously it gives them more opportunity than low taxation. The thing for me is the trade off between providing for the problems it causes. With the consumption thing with things like alcohol...

    Bright Enobakhare

    That's an idea. We don't buy him, Brum don't buy him, St Andrews buys him. He then has to play for whichever team is playing at St Andrews Ofcourse if we moved back we'd be screwed.

    Fair play to you for fixing it for free. There are people who do become philanthropic, but it's much easier to be philanthropic when you've made it and can afford to be. It's how they've acted on the way up that's of particular interest to me. I often wonder if it's essentially guilt over stuff...

    I'm not sure why you've picked up so heavily on the tax thing given the other points I made. I certainly didn't mention the UK having a regressive tax system, although it has given me some flashbacks on tax theory lectures and the pros and cons of a tax free allowance and incremental tax rates...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    In a modern society people should be allowed to cling to phallacies if they want.

    He has said in an interview that one of his regrets is not spending more time with his mother. He had the opportunity, he chose money instead. And you know that if he was given his time over he'd still chase the £ again. Those that make it do so because they're ruthless, bordering on...

    But the point is that you and your small business competitors are there fighting over the scraps left by those that get it easy. I think what annoys me more is when those people complain about taxes and actively deprive society of improving out of sheer greed. I greatly admire your work ethic...

    Bright Enobakhare

    Maybe. But of those three I'd still have Bayliss as the first one to be given 'free licence' to push forward and take on Bright's roles of carrying the ball. Allen can of course do it and had a superior scoring record to Bayliss, but he seems better equipped as a more box-to-box midfielder than...

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    Not if he plays like his dad - I don't want a centre forward playing in our own half making clearances and tackling. In all seriousness Walker was a very decent player and scored a cracker of an OG in the cup final.

    But how many people would be able to watch them if the stadium was shut due to not being up to health and safety standards ;) Would you go to a game knowing there was a high chance you were going to get dysentry from unclean toilets, e-coli from poorly prepared and cooked food or electrocuted...

    I agree I can see Bayliss in that role as MR's back-up option. He'd play it differently to Bright but he could still be effective. He can carry the ball forward himself but can also play a good through ball. I think Allen was brought in as a Bayliss replacement because he was either going to...

    What is going on with the Tory leadership contest?

    And Boris does everyone up like a kipper again. The thing with Boris is you're never quite sure why this came about. Is it a deliberate ploy by Boris and his team to keep the news cycle going? Was it done by the supposed editor to discredit Boris and show he doesn't research or understand what...
